Import home videos onto ITunes

How can i import my home videos/ DVDs onto Itunes just as you can import your audio CDs onto Itunes?

I had home videos that were sat in my iTunes library no problem but I couldn't get them across to my iPhone, even putting them in their own playlist, ticking all the right tabs in the synch menu etc. After a lot of playing around I found that if you right click on the video, select Get Info, go to Options and then in 'Media Kind', manually change it to Music Video and it will then happily go into the music videos playlist and will synch straight across.
Hope this helps.

  • Import home video Onto iPad

    I am using a Sony DSC HX5 shooting movies in mp4 but they will not import to my iPad using camera connector. I am using the sd card in the convertor.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I can import the movies onto iphotos in my mac book so I assume they are the correct format

    According to your cameras specs-it shoots 1080i/720p video at 60 frames per second.
    Ipad only accepts 720p video with 30fps.
    You will need to convert the video-follow the steps above poster put up or research some better conversion software(mpeg streamclip, videomonkey, handbrake).

  • Problem importing home video into iTunes for ipod touch

    I recorded my son's marching band concert on a Flip Video camera. I have tried importing it various ways (directly from flip, importing to windows media player, burning it to dvd, putting the file directly into the itunes library folder) but every time I try to either drag and drop or add file to library, nothing happens. Nada. It just doesn't appear. Is there a way to do this?

    The file must be an mpeg4 video meeting these standards:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • Cannot drag & drop clip in Home Video of itune 11.1.3.8

    It has been a few months since I last drop video clip onto the itune and then transfer it to my iphone by clicking the Sync button.
    Today, when I tried to drop more clips into my Home Videos under the Movies to transfer to my iphone, I NO LONGER able to do so because, when  I tried to drag clip over the itunes, the cursor icon immediately changes to a "do not enter" (i.e. a line across a circle) as soon as the cursor is over the itunes appl. 
    I then tried deleting a couple of clips which are currently on my iphone (Home Videos on iTunes),  and then tried re-add it back, I faced the same problem.
    PS:  I had recently updated itunes to current verion 11.1.3.8 and I'm runing Windows 7 on my PC.
    Can someone please help and explain to me what is happening ?
    Thanks in adavance,

    Having the same identical type problem with iPod Touch 5th Gen with iTunes. We have updated iOS to 7.0.4  (11B554a) and iTunes to 11.1.3.8.
    We have tried the same steps as you have. I am just sorry SJ is no longer with us. My mistake is doing software upgrades early should have waited at least 9 months, My Bad, as the sayings go.
    Was going to buy another iPod Touch for my husband but maybe should forget that, it is apparent that Apple needs to hire a few people who know how to test software.

  • Panasonic VDR-D100... having issues importing home videos!

    Hello,
    I am having problems importing home videos from my Panasonic VDR-D100 camcorder onto my computer - any suggestions? Do I need additional software or maybe I'm just doing something wrong?
    I am connecting my camera via USB then turning it on, opening up iMovie and nothing comes up! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Jen

    This may seen like a stupid question, but is the camera set to "Play"? And does the screen show the words "USB Connected" or something to that effect?
    Also, after everything is connected have you tried navigating to the File menu and selecting "Import from Camera..."?

  • I am trying to change the date on an imported home video clip. I entered 9/7/2012 and got 6/9/0339! I checked modify original file, but it is not working. Any ideas?

    I am trying to change the date on an imported home video clip. I entered 9/7/2012 and got 6/9/0339! I checked modify original file, but it is not working. Any ideas?

    Are you using the Adjust Date and Time option or the Batch Change option?  If it's the former try the latter.  If you get the same results  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import  the same video file and check to see if the same problem persists.

  • How do I upload videos onto iTunes?

    I'm using a PC and I don't know how to get videos onto iTunes (and then onto my iPod)
    First of all, what are the types of video files that are compatible? I've tried .avi, .flv, and .mpg, but only .mpg worked so far (BUT! it wouldn't upload onto my iPod??)
    Can someone please help me with this?? iTunes made me delete all my music on my iPod in order to sync videos, but what's the point if I can't put any videos on there anyway?

    The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    -or-
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.

  • The latest iTunes and importing home videos?

    The earlier itunes had an import option under file, but the one I just recently downloaded does not. I want to import a video file (and it is in a format itunes would recognize), but I cannot.

    drag&drop only works if the video is already compatible (like MP4, M4V, MOV). If not, you need a third party tool.
